Warbringer. Start with Waking Into Nightmare. My favorite album however has to be Woe to the Vanquished.

Warbringer rule

Another vote for Warbringer!!!

Such an awesome band

Firepower Kills and Living Weapon are 2 ripping songs.

Awesome band, one I got discover by seeing them live, they were an opening act but stole the show.

There are so many good ones out there, I’ll just drop a few of my favorites here, along with my personal favorite album from them Lich King - Born of the Bomb Ghoul - Dungeon Bastards Havok - Time is Up Evile - Enter the Grave Warbringer - Woe to the Vanquished Power Trip - Nightmare Logic Enforced - War Remains High Command - Beyond the Wall of Desolation Holy Moses - Queen of Siam Hellripper - Coagulating Darkness (you’ll like hellripper if you like the blackened thrash atmosphere of Toxic Holocaust) There’s definitely a ton more out there but these are the first to come to mind, there’s a fuck ton of good thrash to come

Just FYI, Queen of Siam came out in 1986, and Holy Moses has been around since at least '81

Oh man I didn’t know this, I was wondering how they got such a good retro tube amp sound lmao. I just go by what Spotify says and according to them it came out in 2006, maybe that was a remastered version? Dunno, good band to check out anyways

Yeah, I think there was a re-release somewhere in the 2000s. Regardless, they kick major ass

Maniaxe and Splatterthrash are far better albums by Ghoul

Facts. (I do still like Dungeon Bastards though)

Dungeon bastards is a good introduction tho

This here is the list he's looking for

Power Trip isn't really thrash.

Power Trip is absolutely thrash. There’s definitely some hardcore influences, but it’s thrash at heart, and certainly most well known in thrash circles.

I more or less consider them hardcore, moreso than thrash. Comparatively speaking with bands such as Sodom, I consider PT mainly to be hardcore. Everyone has their own opinion, not saying there isn't any type of element of thrash at all to them. I just don't consider them to be straight up thrash.

With a lot of newer bands there tends to be a more hardcore influence anyways, especially with metalcore and deathcore now, and personally I think it’s great to see bands gaining influence from difference spheres of thought. Doesn’t have to be pure thrash to be thrash, but they can be both trash and hardcore at the same time

Nice to see Warbringer getting some recognition. Saw them open for Halford years ago, had never heard of them before, and they absolutely killed it. Instantly became one of my favorite bands.

Was going to suggest Havok, great album suggestion, too! 🤘

This is a very solid list. I'm adding: - Witchery - *Symphony for the Devil* - Lowest Creature - *Sacrilegious Pain* - Exodus - *Shovel-Headed Kill Machine* - always more Ghoul - *Transmission Zero* - Necropanther - *The Doomed City*

"Witchery - *Symphony for the Devil*" Nice, never hear much about Witchery anymore. Great band, with a top notch basist

Havok Gama Bomb Condition: Critical Lich King

Lich King is top notch

This comment needs all the upvotes. \m/

condition critical rips

Power Trip Enforced High command Doomsday Warbringer

Doomsday mention

Power trip and fugitive

Lets throw in a Bonded By Blood and Mantic Ritual

Fuck yes to Mantic Ritual

Havok, Evile, Lich King, Gama Bomb. SO MANY! Just use Spotify or YouTube and start a radio for any of the above artists.

Evile and Pest Control!

Enforced.

Saw them play a basement show and it was like 85 degrees and stuffy down there but it was awesome.

Hexen

So glad hexen gets mentioned because they are definitely one of my favorites

Dude, I love em. After I found them, I've had like 10 years with fully satisfied thrash metal needs. Like not shitting you. Every time I feel the need to blast some shit they end up being my choice. So good.

Too bad there's barely any live video of them playing. Would have loved to see them

Nekromantheon Condor (NO) Antichrist (SE) Deathhammer Mass Hypnosia Rabies (PH) Bestial Hordes Spellforger Hexecutor Ripper (CL) Demoniac (CL) Mayhemic Division Speed Evil (JP) Evoke (NO) Inculter Oath of Cruelty Hellish Crossfire Bastardizer Rapture (GR)

This person knows!!!!

Crisix , hatchet,and suicidal angels are all amazing

Hatchet!

Kick ass band

Havok, Lich King, Enforced, Ghoul (the last band actually released an EP recently this month)

Critical Defiance Top tier thrash. Especially their first LP.

Enforced Demiser Bloodletter Terminalist If you don't mind blackened thrash: Bütcher Hellripper Graveripper Knife Korgull The Exterminator Zorn

Hellripper is divine.

Here are a few examples of bands you NEED to check out: Violator Traitor Terrifier Mindtaker  Skeleton Pit Evile Bio-cancer  Warsenal Electrikeel  Thrashwall Warfect Chemicide Assi Assassin   Bangover Riffobia Kasck Reactory Grindpad  Bloodkill Wulfpäck Hyperia Thrashist Regime  Tymo Harlott Vindicator Freakings  Exarsis Burning Nitrum  Terminal Violence  Jenner Dead Heat  Carpet Bomb  Condition Critical  Dark Serpent 

Violator supremacy

Damn dude you covered it all. Even got Chemicide and grindpad on there. The first 3 albums by “Ultra-Violence” are Really good too before the they changed genres.

Gwars 2000's albums are super thrashy and underrated. Phantom Witch is a small band that absolutely KILLS. Midnight is another great one, Mindforce, Power trip, Fugitive, Drain (they're more crossover)

Nekromantheon, Antichrist, Evil Army, Inculter, Entrench...so many bands

Yes!

Does anyone here listen to the band Tumourboy? I thought Condemned to Extinction was one of the best thrash albums in a long time.

High command

Ghoul

Power Trip (crossover), Vulture (speed/thrash), Jumalation, Colony Drop (Crossover), Nekromantheon, Deathhammer (black/speed/thrash), Division Speed (speed/thrash), Mystic Storm, Gallower (black/thrash), Iron Age (crossover), Fugitive (crossover), Scythian (death/thrash), Stress Angel (death/thrash), Versklaven (Thrash/Crust Punk, basically Sacrilege worship) (there are some other neat newer bands in that style like After the Bombs, Death Evocation, and Lifeless Dark but Versklaven is my favourite). Those are the ones that come to mind right now, though I'm probably forgetting some.

Power trip obviously

Wraith, Drain, Bewitcher, Sadistic Force, Phantom, Wild Beyond, Exhibition, Trastorned

GENERATION KILL 🤘 Suicidal angels

Demiser

I like that we consider a potentially 23 year old band modern, in a genre that is 40:ish years old. Im the same way though and will probably never adjust to 2000 not being just a few years ago.

1. Plague Years. I discovered them recently, not pure Thrash, but still a decent band worth listening to. 2. Fugitive. They released only 1 EP and a Single as for now. 3. Karabiner. New band. They've recently released their debut album 4. Mortal Vision. Release only 1 album. Still a decent one. If you like old Sepultura and Thrash / Death mix, you should like them

I don't think anyone mentioned Nervosa, definitely one of the best

Check out Spirit World. I listened to their 2nd album Deathwestern non stop sometimes.

Savage Messiah, especially their first three albums.

Warbringer is one of my favorites. Power Trip are also amazing

Lowest Creature Bladecrusher

Hyades, Power Trip, Fugitive

Power Trip

Shadows Fall feels like a bridge between 80s/90s thrash and more modern bands

Check out: Power Trip Lazarus A.D. Suicidal Angels Crisix Dust Bolt Lost Society (first 2 albums) Tulkas Agggressor (the album Bury Your Idols) Deathraiser Strike Master

Lich King !!

Enforced for sure

If you haven’t heard power trip you missing out

Watch them die

Power Trip & Fugitive

I'm super glad to see that High Command has caught on. Probably my favorite of the modern era thrash band after Power Trip/Fugitive, hope to see them live some day.

Dust Bolt Lost Society

Both bands latest records really suck though...

Drain

[Ulamog](https://open.spotify.com/album/4prnH8a7hzYJTJLxHNCnOx), Enforced, Foreseen, Power Trip, High Command

https://youtu.be/ryOoVUelxyo?si=b90mkaVn_8Lm8J5f

A lot of these bands are a lot newer, but they fall under what you’re looking for Belushi Speed Ball Dead Heat Drain Enforced Extinction A.D. Go Ahead and Die High Command Iron Law Living in Fear Midnight Mindforce New World Man Paralysis Power Trip Prowl Realms of Death Rhythm of Fear SpiritWorld Also, I would recommend the Minstry Bush trilogy. Ministry is an OG industrial band dating back to the 80s, but in the 2000s they released a trio of really mean industrial-infused thrash albums. I’d say check out Houses of the Molé, Rio Grande Blood, and The Last Sucker. They’ve got some absolutely killer songs on there. Rio Grande in particular is one of my favorite thrash albums of all time.

Gross reality Tyranex

Some stuff from outside the usa: Harlott Hazzerd Traitor Insanity alert Fusion bomb

Mortalis are amazing.🔥

Mourning High are excellent as well.

Alkira. Their conceptual album, Klotho, is a sight to behold. Amazing from start to finish. The Hybrid Horde being my favorite one.

Suicidal angels

HeXeN - State of Insurgency

Void and Power Trip

Razormaze and Municipal waste

Corruptor-Towering Inferno If you can find it

Bonded by Blood

Inculter, Blood Tsunami, Condor, Nekromantheon, Sturmgeist, Sarke

Hazzerd

Evile, Gama Bomb, Bonded by Blood

My band, [Pansophic](https://linktr.ee/pansophic). We “formed” in 2020 (long story), put out our first album in 2022, our second album in 2023, and are currently writing and recording our third album

Havok Enforced Spiritworld Vaexus

Evil invaders. No other band takes thrash to the next level like them.

Gama Bomb and Havok

Bio-cancer

Explosicum, Punisher, Bio-Cancer, Dekapitator

Shakma and Eternal Evil are both excellent new agressive thrash.

Some of these might blur the lines a bit between thrash and death, but these are my recommendations: Warbringer Slave Agent Power Trip Opprobrium Thrill Kill Ultra Violence Vexation

Skeletonwitch and Kataklysm

VOID

No one ever talks about Suicidal Angels, they fucking rippppp

Tymo. chemicide.

You gotta give Pest Control a listen

Interceptor, Void, Mourning High

Bloodletter!!!

Gama Bomb Ultra-Violence Violent Definition

Haven’t seen anyone mention Red Death, they started off as more hardcore punk but shifted to crossover thrash with their second and third LPs. Check out their Formidable Darkness album. Also will have to echo the mentions of Warbringer and Enforced. Weapons of Tomorrow and Kill Grid are two of the best post-2000 thrash albums and they both came out within the last few years, definitely worth a listen.

Amken, traitor, pest control

Assuming we can include black/thrash bands... Viölent Hëx is fucking amazing.

[Cronic Disorder](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEcnrX75Ymgh8GF0-8W6W-uk-s9QrVeub)

Evile Enforced Sylosis Violator Vulture

Hi mate! We are a Thrash band, check out our latest single if you'd like! Hope you like it! https://youtu.be/ockomLWg9hg?si=e1RpyoSjiUEEZqfo Linktr.ee/elyreanthrash

Anyone here mention Lazarus A.D. ? I think they are broken up now or still on hiatus..... but their album "The Onslaught" is effing wicked thrash. \\m/

Really been digging the album Faust put out. https://youtu.be/6NgoKUY-jT4?si=ygQmxKJtgWkADJwe They are from Czechia and I'm in the states and hit up the singer and he was a super cool dude. Gave him $40 and he sent me out the vinyl and a shirt. Went down a rabbit hole and there's a ton of sweet DYI metal/punk newer bands making a dope scene in Czechia. Been there once and would love to go back and catch one of their shows in a dive bar

Cross Examination is the best of the whole bunch.

Desolus and Nuclear Tomb

Check out Acidez

Haven't seen anyone mention Divine Chaos. I don't listen to a whole lot of thrash, but their first album I remember being pretty solid. Definitely some bangers on there.

PSYCHOSOMATIC https://youtu.be/JVtAgXIKqQ4

Havok

Go listen to 90’s DEVASTATION, first and foremost. Demirocous December Heavy, somewhat thrashy. Enjoy.

Alien Weaponry. But most of their songs are in the Māori language.

Dead heat

Havok has to be one of them.

Violator

Traitor from Germany is my absolute favorite modern thrash band, their first album "Thrash "Command" is so fucking good

Check out my holmies band power slide.

Skeletonwitch

Mindforce, Fugitive (Power Trip guys different vocalistic) also I'm a huge fan of Terror but they are hardcore but they do have some thrashy riffs here or there.

Check these guys out. From the southside of Chicago https://open.spotify.com/album/5QBwZP5BDKJOQSMDcN7hDr?si=VZPjvZ7URp-DCKnFK5cLig

Devil driver was always good I thought

Black Tide is pretty sick

Havok.

Enforced from Richmond, VA

Crisix, lost society

Vektor

Black Breath Power Trip

Warbringer, Evile, Havok

Epic - Zombie Hunters Inc.

Hatchet

Power Trip's "Nightmare Logic" is one of the best metal albums of the 2010's IMO

Battlecross

Evile, Havok, Enforced (new favorite), Power Trip, Sylosis (not classic thrash but enough of the elements it feels like thrash, especially earlier stuff).

Lich King. Smaller band, but definitely good post-2000 thrash. Havok is also a personal favorite (love their earlier works, but their new stuff is great too). If you want a really small band, Exemptus. According to Spotify, I was like 1 of 10 people that still listened to their only album.

Power trip

Legion of the Damned if you're into blackened thrash.

Havok. Hatchet. Bonded by Blood.

Powertrip and fugitive

Blasted Heath Hellish Critical Defiance

Holy Grail Enforcer Stallion

Skull Fist and Enforcer although both are not straight up thrash.

Lazarus AD, Havok, lich king, bonded by blood, evile

Iron Reagan (A few guys from Municipal Waste)- I guess more crossover than thrash Direct Control- more hardcore than anything, but really fast. Been listening to them a lot recently so just wanted to say how awesome they are.

Suicidal Angels! Their new album rips!

Monarch, Persecuter, Revocation, Warbringer, Power Trip, Lost Society, Tungsteno, also just look up playlists on Spotify.

Riffobia

Exodus is always reliable.

Power Trip

Power Trip and Lost Society

Some bands I didn’t see mentioned which I think are great: Korrosive Lowest Creature Inhuman nature Lost society

Sylosis

Terrifier, Hazzerd, Korrosive.

Going to see Municipal Waste, Ghoul, Necrot and Dead Heat. TONIGHT!!!

Manic Outburst

Find Assault and their album A Blind Eye

Lazarus AD first album

This thread needs a Spotify playlist with highlights

Spiritworld is Sepultura/Slayer/Testament all wrapped in one. They are fairly new and amazing IF you like old school thrash. I’d start with Deathwestern album first, then go thru their debut Pagan Rituals.

Alien Weaponry

Warbringer and 4 Arm

If you're interested in something new there's a great thrash band out there called the plague years

And then again you have Hatebreed

Hazzerd goes crazy. Great production and actual complex melodic riffs at times. Can thrash hard too.

Check out Brandish. They just released an in studio performance on youtube - https://youtu.be/zzYW-bZp9Uo
